My mom and I had a great time cooking and eating together in her kitchen. Then, we'd go workout together too! We cooked up a storm... and I have lots more yummy recipes to come in my series: From My Mom's Kitchen.

This is the first week of the spring semester, and what (Lord willing) will likely be my last semester in school!!!!! I'm on track to finish my PhD in the next 16 weeks... prayers are much appreciated.

Since it's snowy and cold, and we ate ourselves silly last week, we have lots of veggie-packed soups on our menu this week:

Wheat french bread and baked doughnuts... sounds delicious. I've been wondering about trying your french bread recipe with some wheat in it. I'll wait and see how you put it together. Thanks for sharing all these great recipes! Looking forward to seeing all the new ones added.

Mmm....your muffins and doughnuts have made me hungry again already this morning. I love muffins because they freeze so beautifully for easy school morning breakfasts. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures as well. There are so many great ideas here for future menus.

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
